a cell phone and a stolen car

A Chicago web developer used his cell phone, and some help from a friend who is a sales representative from Sprint, to locate his stolen car by looking up calls made from the phone, and using an online reverse phone number lookup to find the addresses of those phone calls. The phone had been left in the car, and the person who took the vehicle used the phone to made a few calls, which helped lead to his being found.
